LNZ head coach Vitaly Ponomariov commented on the transfer plans of the Cherkasy club before the winter break.

“There are hundreds of football players from other teams: we are in negotiations, there is a growing, ongoing wealth of football players, and everything that is in the press today does not correspond to the effectiveness, so we. That's why it's all the same - more guesswork for journalists.

Because of the transfer campaign, I would like to strengthen myself, so, again, there are 20 players in the team, not the main players and reserves. I often say that I would not like to divide into main and reserve players, but ideally there would be two players of equal value in the position. You're so respectful. Why do we want to go to the European Cup zone within an hour, why do we want to play in many tournaments at the same time, at the same time there is such football that it requires two equal warehouses. I, first of all, what we want to do.

We really want to be able to work on all teams, but again, we want to take these players who, in our opinion, will help the team. Because at the same time we are already occupying first place in the tournament table and we want to support this result. And now there will be even greater pressure on football players, because it’s not a third-party, but each individual will have pressure, so they will understand that results are being measured against them all. And how much do we need to prepare?. We must prepare ourselves for the winter. Be at the top of the tournament table. I don’t want to fall, I want to improve this result,” Ponomar’s press service said to the club.

Guess what, LNZ became the winter champion of the UPL, winning at the break but a point from Donetsk Shakhtar.
